Dear World,

I've got something to share. Well, sort of a confession. It's a guilt that has burdened me the past week. I just came back from a two-part vacation. It was a particular country that was not as financially or politically sound as Singapore. And that's why I shouldn't have referred to it as a vacation in the first place. More of like a self-discovery journey. I realise that I can never enjoy myself in a place where there is a hint of hardship.

So, what's the guilt? That I didn't do a single thing, zilch, to brighten a person's day. Nothing what so ever, not even a random act of kindness. What's the point of being exposed to such extreme conditions and not do a thing? Now here is where I am confused. What's the point of feeling sympathetic when those people don't complain about their lives at all?

Maybe it's because I've never ventured out much to see such sufferings to understand it.

Or maybe I just didn't want to look.

I remember a teacher in Primary School who said the prayers daily, after recess to thank God for the wonderful food and blessing he has bestowed on us. He said we'll never fully understand God's actions. It's because, our mind is like a cup. And trying to understand God's doings is like trying to put the entire ocean into this cup.

As I reach this milestone in life, I seek guidance. That's all.

Maybe my purpose is to bring joy to the world, one random act of kindness at a time. Or maybe, my purpose could be to fight for the equality of human beings. Maybe, maybe.

I'm just so glad that I've made new great friends which I'll elaborate in my next post. And I'm really really thankful that God has presented me with the best family ever. It doesn't matter what other people get for their birthday. My parent's love beats them all. It sure beats out having the latest gadget or fashion accessory. Those are just for the moment, mine is for all of eternity. Just like God's love.

Joy to the world people. Have a blessed day, may God grant us all wisdom.
